- Cancer Data Champions
To support our collective effort to enhance public health for cancer patients—from clinical applications to supporting research to building a more robust health system in general—the College of American Pathologists (CAP) is sponsoring a series of Cancer Data Champions webinars.
- Do you lead efforts in your institution—and across health care—to allow for increased access to and aggregation of pathology data?
- Would you like to better leverage pathology data in the pursuit of improved clinical care?
- Are better patient outcomes and more robust research initiatives on your to-do list?
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then there's a good chance you’re already on your way to becoming a Cancer Data Champion.
This ongoing series examines visionary topics for the use of data in addition to real-world, hands-on opportunities to utilize the current data stores. Please join us as we explore the breadth and depth of pathology data that is readily available to support these initiatives.

Pathology Report Data Life Cycle: How to access cancer surveillance data
In this webinar, speakers from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) present information about available data resources covering the US population and North America as well as the National Childhood Cancer Registry (NCCR). Learn about publicly available data visualization tools and how to gain access to the data for your own research.
-
Transforming Cancer Registry Data: Unlock the potential of CAP Cancer Protocols for enhanced completeness and quality
Review challenges observed due to improper implementation of the College of American Pathologists' electronic Cancer Protocols (eCP) and the impact properly implemented eCP has on the completeness, timeliness, and quality of cancer registry data. The California Cancer Registry review their experience with receipt of eCP-structured data to enable more real-time case reporting that can be used to guide patient care, develop prevention programs, and provide cancer registry data to researchers and pathologists to better direct their work.
-
Finding, Organizing, and Using CAP eCP Data to Accelerate Cancer Research
Members of the Northwestern University Research Analytics team discuss how they leveraged the College of American Pathologists' electronic Cancer Protocols (eCP) data, optimizing its use by building an extension data model and ETL that represents discrete synoptic data in a simple entity attribute value (EAV) structure, allowing them to incorporate CAP eCP data into multiple research analytic use cases.
-
SNOMED CT and eCP Binding and Data Navigation
Learn how the development of the SNOMED CT, a standard for electronic exchange of clinical health information, allowed the creation of content specific to cancer protocols internationally, aligning with CAP- and ICCR-published protocols. See how these concepts are used to query synoptic data for use in research, clinical care, and quality improvement activities.
-
Cancer Data Standards: A practical approach to understanding data interoperability
In recent years, numerous projects have been initiated to create tools and data sharing standards to foster a more cohesive and integrated approach. This webinar will review some of the ongoing efforts to enhance interoperability using structured data capture, streamlining data exchange, and minimizing manual data entry. We'll also discuss the advantages and ease of using the APHL platform.
Topics will be released as they become available.
Registration Information
Even better, there is no fee for these webinars. Your registration (required) enrolls you in all future Cancer Data Champion webinars. Each live broadcast includes a Q&A session with the presenter(s), and the recordings are available on-demand.
You will receive a reminder for each upcoming session with a dedicated link to access the live broadcast.
